NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 16, 2016 PR) – Gene Watson blends traditional, organic country that purists long for in his new album,Real.Country.Music., available now across digital retailers. Watson’s 33rd studio album charted at No. 72 on Billboard Top Country Albums and is No. 1 on Amazon's best-selling classic country albums.

“I’m 72 and here I debuted on the charts at No. 72! I’m real proud of this project and I’m just humbled fans are still buying my albums. That’s why we do this - it’s for the fans,” Watson said.

After five decades in the music business and more than 75 charting singles, Watson delivers an authentic soulful album withReal.Country.Music., which he opens up about in the syndicated series “The Test Drive.”

“It’s exactly what we titled the album. These are songs that still have fiddle, steel guitar and, quite honestly, soul,” Watson said. “I’m not one to bash what those younger artists are doing, but I can tell you a lot of what you hear nowadays isn’t country. This isReal.Country.Music”

“It’s fair to say, in fact, that Real.Country.Music. lives up exactly to what it says on the tin. Throughout, strong lyrics and impressive vocal performances are complemented by intelligent and restrained musical arrangements … an education in classic traditional country music for anyone who listens.”
-Alan Cackett, AlanCackett.com

“I’m so very proud of this album and what it stands for. I hope my fans enjoy it as much as I loved recording this Real.Country.Music.,” Watson said.

Watson also discussed his gospel rendition of “Help Me,” a song penned by Larry Gatlin and recorded by Elvis Presley and “Enough For You,” written by Kris Kristofferson, in exclusive video premieres on TheBoot.com.
